Hello Stalkers!
Since the beginning of our adventure with Chernobylite, we have been providing you with glimpses from behind the scenes of our game development process. The Early Access phase was particularly interesting. Back then, almost every report included photos and videos showing the slow process of creating even the smallest elements in the game. Including: Character models…
…and items…
…rooms…
...and also animations.
It's time to piece together all the scattered components, incorporating materials you probably haven't seen before, and assembling them like a puzzle. In this way, we want to show you exactly the differences (or maybe similarities?) between Chernobylite, the game, and Chernobylite in reality.
We'll start with something lighter and less overt. As you well know, our trips to Chernobyl allowed us to scan this place and transfer it almost unchanged to the game. We say "almost" because some locations in the game were our own creation, and the recorded materials served as references in this case.
One of the most notable places crafted from scratch is our base. In the gifs below you can see that we walked around closed rooms made of iron and concrete, where we discovered an abundance of junk and machine parts scattered on the floor. The perfect place to hide from danger.
With a touch of dedication and hard work, you can transform it into a nice place to live. At least for a while.
We also managed to find the perfect place with a view of the Zone. We couldn't refuse to use it in Chernobylite.
The subsequent GIFs perfectly illustrate what we mentioned at the beginning - how the video materials collected on site were employed to create similar locations in the spirit of the atmosphere we wanted to achieve in Chernobylite.
Though we must confess, there were locations where we couldn’t bring ourselves to make any substantial changes. At most, just decorative ones.
Consider this report as a sneak peek. In upcoming updates we will show you, among others: the Chernobyl scanning process - from the smallest objects to the largest ones - and their visualization on a computer. Get ready, because we have some exciting content to show you.
That's it for today!
Take care, Stalkers!
